Gamma Ray - Somewhere Out in Space Lyrics BEYOND THE BLACK HOLE Music: Hansen, Zimmermann, Schlächter/Lyrics: Hansen I have come from so far away From the sunlight of my home And I have seen it's the only way Now my sun is dead and gone I raise my head in silent anger Seems there is no place for me The only way out is to go Where no one's gone before Fly - Beyond the gates of space and time Another universe is mine And I can't wait until tomorrow Ride - There's a call from deep within No I won't return again `Cause I will dive into the black hole Don't wait for me, 'cause I won't come back Oh don't wait for me, no I won't come back Oh don't wait for me, no I won't come back Oh, oh, oh ... Thunder and lightning and fire Are guiding the trip of my life Insatiable burning desire As into the unknown I dive I raise my head in silent anger Seems there is no place for me The only way out is to go Where no one's gone before Fly - Beyond the gates of space and time Another universe is mine And I can't wait until tomorrow Ride - There is a call from deep within I know I won't return again `Cause I will dive into the black hole Don't wait for me, 'cause I won't come back Oh don't wait for me, no I won't come back Oh don't wait for me, no I won't come back Oh, oh, oh, don't wait There was a trigger, for my decision It's right behind my eyes Into the darkness of my vision I let my spirit rise I wanna see the black hole, into the dark I wanna dive into the black hole, down into the dark Into the black hole, into the dark Into the spiral, Into the dark, the dark, the dark If there's a possible chance for something that can be Called future behind the spiral The only way to find out, is to leave the final frontier To eternity and fly I will fly - Beyond the gates of space and time I leave the universe behind And I can't wait until tomorrow Fly - Beyond the gates of space and time I know the universe is mine `Cause I will dive into the black hole Ride - And there's a call from deep within I know I won't return again `Cause I will dive into the black hole Don't wait for me, 'cause I won't come back Oh don't wait for me, no I won't come back Oh don't wait for me, no I won't come back Oh, oh, oh, don't wait MEN, MARTIANS AND MACHINES Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen From out of space we came on to the earth From far away on solar beams A dying race to find survival here For our kind to plant our seeds Our analysis of the atmosphere Was good and so we touched the ground A rising simple structured life form there Seemed to be perfect what we'd found We think in anger of our fallin dream Our home is now a fading light The cracks appeared and they where pointing at the end And so we came to save our lives Men, Martians and Machines You were to young to understand our plans To see the things up in the sky We were the gods and we have taught you well And so we found eternal life We gained control upon our destiny Our ships were flying everywhere The cracks appeared our plan was bound to fail again And now the circle's closing in Men, Martians and Machines We can't control our human sacrifice Again we fear for our lives The cracks appeared our brains start to distort again Now we gonna say goodbye Men, Martians and Machines NO STRANGER (ANOTHER DAY IN LIFE) Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen I see a hole in the sky But don't ask me why I'm so down and lonely No one will understand why There's a voice in my head And I know it's the only I see the children play, with fire in their eyes And when the day begins ... another day in life I'm standing tall, 'cause I won't fall 'Cause I'm no stranger to myself I see horizons in my sky 'Cause I'm no stranger to myself Days full of joy Are drivin' down the pain Into the sun, a mother's son Is just about to fly I see the morning come, with fire in my eyes And when the day begins ... another day in life I'm standing tall, 'cause I won't fall I'm no stranger to myself I see horizons in my sky 'Cause I'm no stranger to myself I see the morning come, with fire in the sky And now the day begins ... another day in life I'm standing tall, 'cause I won't fall I'm no stranger to myself I see horizons in my sky 'Cause I'm no stranger to myself No, no I'm no stranger to myself SOMEWHERE OUT IN SPACE Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen I'm trapped in a castle of illusions out in space, - no more illusions - Out on a journey, on a mission for the human race Terrified, I had to realize that I've been talkin' to the gods of fire I got nowhere to stand, 'cause I'm a running man... to get away All that I see is the years... somewhere out in space And it's time for deliverance Tomorrow, I'll see it, another day's rise ... right before my eyes Been sinking in sorrow, but now I'm gonna rise No more reasons why I'm a watcher in the dark, I'm so cold inside my heart I'm a temple in the storm, and I'm bound to be reborn Take me down to the underground, let me see the gods of fire 'Cause I know where they live and I know where they stand, Another reason there to leave Take me down, take me down, take me to the underground I wanna meet the gods of fire And all of their intention is the center of it all All that I see is the years ... somewhere out in space and it's time for deliverance Now that I know I've got to get away Time for deliverance now And as the sun appeared, up in the sky I saw another day, that's drifting by I saw my people cry, a million tears Into eternity they disappeared Now it's time to say goodbye, or we will sink in sorrow No, we don't know the reason why, another day, tomorrow Oh, I thank you for giving me hope Oh, follow me into a new life All that I see is the years, all that I see is the tears All that I see is the years... somewhere out in space And it's time for deliverance All that I see is the fear... somewhere out in space And it's time for deliverance I wanna know how to get away, I wanna know how to get away Come set me free, just set me free, just let me go I wanna get away, get away Somewhere out in space THE GUARDIANS OF MANKIND Music: Richter/Lyrics: Richter For no one to see for no one to hear They fight for our souls without any fear When injustice done they open their gates To maintain balance between good and bad And as the winds of freedom blow they vanish into haze The mighty shadow turns away and wisdom conquers hate The guardians of Mankind Are losin' their faith 'Cause malice and falseness Spread over the human race If guardians of mankind Won't shelter our souls The rulers of darkness Will soon gain control Don't try to deceive them don't try to play false 'Cause losing their favour will be the end of shelter And as the winds of freedom blow they vanish into haze The mighty shadow turns away and wisdom conquers hate The guardians of Mankind Are losin' their faith 'Cause malice and falseness Spread over the human race If guardians of mankind Won't shelter our souls The rulers of darkness Will soon gain control And as the winds of freedom blow they vanish into haze The mighty shadow turns away and wisdom conquers hate The guardians of Mankind Are losin' their faith 'Cause malice and falseness Spread over the human race Guardians of Mankind Are losin' their faith 'Cause malice and falseness Spread over the human race If guardians of mankind Won't shelter our souls The rulers of darkness Will soon gain control THE LANDING Music: Schlächter/Lyrics: Hansen High in the machines Above the earth We observe your lifeform We've come for you Riding the machines We'll take your souls Riding the machines We've come to rule About 400,000 years ago When evolution was still on the make An extraterrestrial race Appeared in our part of the galaxy Heading straight to earth Riding the machines We'll take your souls Riding the machines We've come for you When they finally landed They found a planet with perfect survival conditions A lower lifeform called humans Considered them as gods From somewhere out of space VALLEY OF THE KINGS Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen Father can you hear me, did you talk to mother earth What did they say, what did they see, now ... is it time for your rebirth? Open up the silent center of your mind, I now want to know the future of your kind In the valley of the kings, when the storm breaks loose again Then the gods return to fight, for the future of their lives In the valley of the kings Oh mother do you hear me, did you talk to father moon I don't want to leave my brothers in this temple of their doom Open up the silent center of your mind, I now want to know the future of your kind In the valley of the kings, when the storm breaks loose again Then the gods will spread their wings, in the valley of the kings Ra vite, deus sanktus, ra vite Ra vite,revertate, ra vite Oh mother earth do you believe there is a place for us to go Come set us free again and let us fly away and give us hope There'll be a time for us to fly to our thrones up in the sky In the valley of the kings, when the storm breaks loose again Then the gods will spread their wings, in the valley of the kings PRAY Music: Schlächter/Lyrics: Hansen So here we stand again Like dust on mother earth And we hide our faces in our dreams Only emptiness where angels flew - high on golden wings And the voice of god has vanished now - lost inside our dreams But the only way to go is heaven All we can do is pray In the darkness we stand with the world in our hands And we pray For a better tomorrow We wait Far beyond the horizon There's a sound in the sky The voice of glory I hear a silent cry When the heroes of yesterday are gone All we can do is pray In the darkness we hide and we wait for the light And we pray Oh we pray Let us pray I've seen the darkside of the moon in my dreams Now I know it ain't a place to live for us all All our gods creation is dead an gone Now we stand like children all alone forever All we can do is pray Forever and forever and forever more For a better tomorrow - we wait Pray There's a light in the dark And it's shining so bright on our way Still there is hope on our way And we pray Oh, pray THE WINGED HORSE Music: Richter/Lyrics: Richter In a land, far beyond the sun Rules the darkness, faceless magician Black towers which raise into the sky Castle of tears, shadows passing by Blood is covering the mighty walls Of those who lost their skin and bones No one ever saw the light Oh, slaves of the night There's a young man, chained on a stake Liveless body, he has no strength to break His shirt is bloody, his head is hanging down He's meant to die, the ruler took his crown The wind howles through the emptiness A different sound as in the past Screaming echoes in the lanes Oh, victims of the pain The clouds passing by, a hole breaks the sky Light refract the dark and fills the place White winged horse, such a powerful force Gallops through the sky to break the chains The winged horse lands by the one It snorts and stamps, the escape has just begun The chains are broken, silence fills the place He backs the horse with his last ounce of strength The white horse rears and spreads its wings To reach the sky and search the kings The one will lead to win at last Oh, rulers of the past The clouds passing by, a hole breaks the sky Light refract the dark and fills the place White winged horse, such a powerful force Gallops through the sky to free the land The white horse rears and spreads... The kings return, armed with mighty swords To retake the land and banish evil thoughts They fight against the shadows, captured souls of the dark might Dethrone the evil ruler to bring sun to the night The battle takes a heavy toll But they achieve what they're fighting for Now the land is free again Oh, no more blood and pain The clouds passing by, a hole breaks the sky Light refract the dark and fills the place White winged horse, such a powerful force Gallops through the sky to free the land But still at night when darkness rules again Whispering shadows creeping through the lanes Evil creatures of the expelled magician Oh, it's a fight you'll never win COSMIC CHAOS Music: Zimmermann Instrumental LOST IN THE FUTURE Music: Schlächter/Lyrics: Hansen Atomic fallout scans the sky Another place where people die And with a massive final punch We left a world of pain And now pollutions everywhere Another death is in the air A million people left alone Down in their desperate, blackened homes Tomorrow there'll be no sun Hanging high up in the sky Tomorrow all dead and gone And I wish that I could fly We are lost, in the future, we are lost In a dream we can't control No way So tell me now computer god We plug our lives into machines And as they're guiding our dreams We're individually lost As we are nailed to our cross Tomorrow there'll be a sun Hanging high up in the sky Tomorrow I'm dead and gone Oh I wish that I could fly We are lost, in the future, we are lost It's a nightmare, we are lost In the future, we are lost In a dream we'll never see Our hearts live forever In dreams are alive Forever and ever We're riding the sky All hope is lost, but nothing gained We're crying again Is this the end? Lost, in the future, we are lost It's a nightmare, we are lost In the future, we are lost In a dream we can't control We're lost, so lost We're lost, so lost We all are lost! WATCHER IN THE SKY Music: Sielck, Hansen/Lyrics: Sielck, Hansen I'm watching the mountains I'm watching the sea Observing the creatures I am lost - set me free Across the heavens I made my way I've seen empires rise and blown away I have arrived at my destiny but after all there's just emptiness in me Out in the darkness - I am going mad Where are the others - there's silence in my head `Cause I'm a watcher in the sky I've seen universes die Out in the cold my systems overload I am lost in time Watcher in the sky I'm trapped in this nightmare Endless tortures and pain, milleniums have gone by Uhhh, it drives me insane Who am I now? I'm not man - I'm not machine I gave my life away for the Iron Savior dream `Cause I'm a watcher in the sky I've seen universes die Out in the cold my systems overload I am lost in time Watcher in the sky (Piet) Hooked to the circuits of a lifeless, cold machine Lost in a world of artificial means Ripped out of my body I'll stand the test of time Am I perpetual? - am I devine? I'm a watcher in the sky My soul has drowned in the tears I cannot cry I'm the watcher the chosen one but I am lost in time I'm a watcher in the sky I've seen the years go by I am the chosen one Out in the cold my systems overload and I am lost in time Watcher in the sky Watching the mountains, watching the sea, watching the creatures You'll never be free Watcher in the sky RISING STAR Music: Schlächter Instrumental SHINE ON Music: Schlächter/Lyrics: Hansen We drive, we drive, we're riding on through the universe We've come to reach our destination planet earth We come, we run, you cannot see us, flying in our spaceships, shooting 'cross the sky We explore and we all know what this is about for us all So many light years we have travelled far from home Someday we'll be there I know Shine on, Rising star We travelled such a long way But still you seem so far Shine on, Rising star for our belief in unity at heart Rising Star Come on and shine Living was torture and dying release A declining world, no future, no hope We were passing the point of no return So many light years, still we travel on and on And someday we will call you home Shine on, Rising Star Diamond in the distance, still you seem so far Shine on, Rising Star Forever light the darkness in our hearts Rising Star, Rising Star Salvation, Damnation We crawl across the sky with pain Forever we will fly Out in the darkness There's a never ending light Still we are far away But we'll be there one day Someday we will call you home Shine on, Rising Star We travelled such a long way but still you seem so far Shine on, Rising Star Forever light the darkness in our hearts Rising Star, Rising Star Shadows in the darkness, so far away from home Standing all alone, noone there beside me Shadows all around, so far away from home I know I'm not alone, it seems we're lost in space and time Shine on Shine on now, and warm the tears we've shared through years It's our prison, final reason for the freedom and the glory that we feel Are you for real?

TIME... Dreaming We can return to the land of the good and the kind TIME... Dreaming... TIME... Dreaming Why don't you come to our party and open your minds In another place, there's a newer face Like an unfinished painting, your creator is waiting The brush and pen describe, what it is inside That will set your mind thinking, while the others are sinking Moonlight night after moonlight night Side by side, they will see us ride But if they cared to look, than they would see It's just our return to fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, oh yeah Fantasy, fantasy, fantasy
